Thoughts Center Berlin
The start of the new school year is often synonymous with renewal. After the summer break, it's time to get back into the swing of things, juggling personal and professional responsibilities, and sometimes dealing with conflicting emotions. In Berlin, this period can be even more intense: new school stages for children, university integration for students, taking up a demanding job in a language you may not have fully mastered for adults.
Visit Thoughts CenterWe know that this transition can be a source of stress, anxiety and imbalance. It's also an ideal time to refocus and lay solid foundations for the months ahead.

Communicate with your child about his emotions (fear, excitement, fatigue).
